  1. Specific saccade deficits in patients with Alzheimer's disease at mild to moderate stage and in patients with amnestic mild cognitive impairment

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 36 out of 100. Age (Dordrecht, Netherlands) 2012-05-11 Brain scans and imaging

    Saccadic impairment in Alzheimer's disease (AD) was found in horizontal saccades.

  2. Saccade abnormalities in autopsy-confirmed frontotemporal lobar degeneration and Alzheimer disease

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 43 out of 100. Archives of neurology 2012-04-01 Brain scans and imaging

    Decreased visually guided saccade velocity and gain are suggestive of underlying tau pathology in FTD, with vertical saccade abnormalities most diagnostic of progressive supranuclear palsy.

  3. Medial versus lateral frontal lobe contributions to voluntary saccade control as revealed by the study of patients with frontal lobe degeneration

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 36 out of 100. The Journal of neuroscience : the official journal of the Society for Neuroscience 2006-06-01 Brain scans and imaging

    Deficits in the ability to suppress automatic behaviors lead to impaired decision making, aberrant motor behavior, and impaired social function in humans with frontal lobe neurodegeneration.
